“ One of the best pizza places in the world. We went while on vacation in 2022 and had such a great experience that I insisted we go back on our vacation in 2023. The incredible owner remembered us and even commented on my new tattoo I’d gotten since our last trip. The pizza is incredible, the owner makes his own amazing sauces, and the decor is beautiful and has lots of paintings that the owner painted himself. Truly an unforgettable experience, you do not want to miss out visiting here! ”
“ Hidden gem for a pizza place highly recommend it. He always gives the pizza with three different sauces too, which is amazing and tastes amazing I believe the guy is half Mexican half Italian so it really knows what he’s doing. ”
“ This was the best Italian food I’ve ever had. I mean from comparing to US food. The veggies were so fresh that even my vegan pizza with no cheese was so flavorful. Bruschetta is literally a must. The guy is a gem to be around! He’s such a good positive vibe. We went two nights in a row. ”
“ Very sweet owners, amazing pizza (the best I had in Mexico!) and very sweet cat friend as well :) Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a chill evening with some delicious pizza ! ”
“ I would recommend everyone try this place. The pizza and pasta is delicious! The hot sauces are so good too we especially liked the honey habanero one. The owner Orlando was great and he showcases his paintings in the restaurant as well. He is an incredible artist! P.S. he also has an adorable cat that is super chill!! ”
“ Super cute restaurant with delicious food. We had the house made pesto and the pizza Mexicana. We loved the sauce especially the honey sauce! So delicious! Edit to add we came back a second time because it was so tasty! ”
“ The pizza is amazing and the chef gives great recommendations. The base is really crispy and has a really good taste. We had the vegetarian pizza, the crulaiola pizza and a salad as a starter. They also have really delicious fruit juices. I can highly recommend this place. ”
“ This place was awesome. It was fantastic Italian with Mexican fusion sauces. We had the bruschetta and margarita pizza. I love Italian and I was skeptical about getting pizza in Mexico.. I mean why? But honestly, something you should try. Shockingly delicious. The owner was very friendly and an Italian transplant to Mexico. Wonderful combination of both cultures. And even a cute cafe cat named Julia. ”
